How are IntruGuard products different from other low-end appliances which do DDoS mitigation, such as Riorey?
Here are the key differences: 1. Other appliances are black-magic appliances. You have no clue what they are doing during DDoS attack. IntruGuard appliances have fine visibility and control over all reasons for drops. You can exactly control what you want dropped. 2. Many other appliances are software based and run on off-the-shelf CPUs and most cannot sustain traffic at line rate – especially during attacks. IntruGuard appliances, on the other hand, are custom hardware logic based. They are guaranteed to work at line rate of 1 Gbps full duplex – even under attack. 3. Other appliances do not give you partitioning capability. All policies are across the board. With IntruGuard appliances, you can partition the network in multiple segments and have indpendent policies for each of them. Attack on one segment will not affect the others and for each segment you can control policies very granularly. 4. Other appliances sample traffic, especially while analyzing layer 7 headers.
